Leptodactylus magistris is a frog. It lives in Venezuela.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives on the ground. It is awake during the day. Scientists saw the frog in exactly one place: Cerro Socopó in Estado Falcón. It lives in small streams and ponds. Scientists have seen it 1250 meters above sea level.[1]
There are protected places where the frog lives, for example Estação Ecológica do Grão Pará and Reserva Extrativista do Rio Cajari.[1]
Young
This frog makes a nest out of bubbles for its eggs. It makes the nest in ponds. The tadpoles swim in water.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in very big danger of dying out. People have changed the forests into grassy places, places for animals to eat grass, and farms, for example small coffee farms. Climate change could also hurt this frog.[1]
